A women beater
is defined as men who verbally, mentally or physically abuse women so that they
make up
for their own weaknesses and insecurities. However for many centuries,
philosophers, psychologists and human behavioral analysis have argued that the
responsibility of the male is to provide shelter, food and protection for their
counterpart. So why do males want to hurt their counterpart? Just because of
their insecurity or weakness? They are the ones that should provide protection
and strength to their counterparts!

Who is the Weakest Link? |
I was given an opportunity
to work in the medical field in which I had witnessed horrific domestic
violence. A young female in her late 20’s came into the hospital’s trauma ward
for medical attention. After several medical tests and examinations, my team
leader took the responsibility to notify the police of a possible domestic
violence. The
evidence was clearly
visible in the medical report findings which included numerous wrists, arms and
ribs fractures. Bruises were noticeable on her neck and face which suggested
strangulation and brutal force slaps respectively. Upon further inspection, the
stomach showed multiple marks that could be either caused by deliberate foot
tramples or punches while the uterus suffered massive internal bleeding. She
was then hospitalized and was later discharged.
News broke when
we were notified by the law enforcement that they were pressing charges for
domestic violence towards her counterpart only to find that she requested the
charges to be dropped; in her argument, she replied that it was her “fault for
not paying attention while walking down several flights of stairs.” The male
then laid a charge to our team for attempting to accuse him for domestic
violence, and it has created stress in their family as well as for name damage.
Was she threatened by her counterpart? Peer pressure? I wouldn’t know, but I
know that at times, female will do anything to protect their offspring’s even
if they have to endure these senseless tortures.
Another incident
that I came across had involved a premature born baby and her mother. A few
days after giving birth, the infant suffered a mild fever, but due to the
single mother’s financial and family background, she was unable to provide her
baby with the best medical care. The only option she had was to take the infant
to a state hospital which was not feasible, due to the fact that she will have
to take a day off. As the only source of income in the family, she did what other
people with the same background would do: taking to purchasing medicine over
the counter as this did not require a doctor’s prescription. After a few weeks, the infant suffered a
severe high fever. This left the mother devastated and feeling guilty and in
order to raise the necessary fund, she decided to beg. This caught the eye of a
news reporter. After a few days, an anonymous male offered to pay for her
infant medical bill under one condition that was to knee-walk for 2 kilometers.
Why did he do that to her? Was it to humiliate her in the public?
Males have
continuously labeled females as the weaker species but at the same time one
should not forgot that it was the female ho gave birth to males. So are women
beaters considered to be traitors? I choose to campaign against violence against
women as time and time again, they have showed courage and perseverance in
making sure that the family stay safe no matter what the cost is. Will you also
join me in the fight to end this barbaric act?
